About the Game

Beyond Eden is a visual novel set in the Victorian era, centering on the themes of "love-hate" and "revenge."

The player enters the shoes of Alex Wake, a young businessman who returns to a Baron’s mansion where he stayed as a boy. Bearing a deep grudge against the Baron and his family, Alex seeks to manipulate them and their employees in order to lead the family down the path of destruction.

Alex can develop dark and complex relationships with 6 male characters. It depends on you, the player, to steer the story towards foreseeable tragedies or help Alex discover the faint chance of redemption.

Story

It is the late Victorian era, a time of drastic social upheaval and shifting values.

Yet everything seemingly remains routine and unchanged in 'Ashgrove Park,' a stately mansion surrounded by a vast forest.

But then a man arrives to disturb its tranquility—a man who spent his boyhood at the estate has now returned after 10 years.

The Baron Edenic—the master of the house—and his four sons, the doctor, and the servants greet him with wariness, joy, or unfamiliarity.

A story of discord and destruction between and the people of the mansion and a man who hides his thirst for revenge beneath a calm demeanor.

Does the fall await beyond Eden?
